AIS target data is displayed directly on a connected Garmin chartplotter via NMEA 2000, giving you vessel identification, speed, course, and collision risk information overlaid on your chart — without a separate AIS receiver. The built-in GPS ensures your DSC distress calls include accurate position data even if your chartplotter is offline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25W fixed-mount VHF with Class D DSC — meets carriage requirements for most recreational vessels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in AIS receiver — displays AIS targets on a connected Garmin chartplotter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated GPS — position included in DSC distress calls automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug-and-play NMEA 2000 networking — connects directly to your Garmin MFD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNMEA 0183 compatible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eU.S., Canadian, and international marine channel sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNOAA weather channels with weather alert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIPX7 waterproof rating — submersible to 1 metre for 30 minutes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHailer\/foghorn function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eParts Desk Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest use case:\u003c\/strong\u003e The VHF 215 AIS is the right choice when you want AIS receive capability integrated into your VHF without adding a separate black-box AIS receiver.
